Box Grid - Blog Content Visualization

Monday, March 05, 2007


Visit the Box Grid Website

As I've mentioned in earlier posts I'm very interested in new ways to present blog content. Data streams, attention data and rss blending all address this issue, however, they all still relay on activities presented in a liner fashion. While the standard blog layout works well for discovery I'm wondering if there is a way to display blog data in a new paradigm . Box Grid was originally developed as an experimental blog site. The two things I find most fascinating about Box Grid are the fact that it was originally released in 2002, and that does not use flash. The interface is all CSS and javascript based. While this type of content visualization will not work for every blog it's a place where we can start to imagine new ways to surf a blog. The source code is also downloadable!

This is a first for me. Quite great Box Grid-Blog Content Visualization. It really does not use flash? Well that makes it twice appreciable. I have a little question though: haw can I see what specific square is designed for some specific information. This remained unclear to me. Anyway, I really like it.

@sacca - Been there with the gas station egg salad problem. I'm vegan now, but I would still consider those tasty sandwiches a weakness. :)
